Description

In main.c, setuid() and setgid() are called, but the result code is thrown away. This could lead to Tvheadend running with unexpected privileges.

Fedora is now compiling by default with -Werror=unused-result which prevents compilation of Tvheadend, but that can be turned off easily. If I read git blame correctly, the problem existed in the first version checked into git.
